✨ Click here to check out my brand new 7-day Yoga for Fibromyalgia course: tinyurl.com/h6fzppkx I hope you enjoyed this gentle fibromyalgia yoga practice. ✨

[@loveischerrypie]

Thanks! I cried while doing this because it’s the first time in three years since being diagnosed that I actually start to exercise.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Good for you!! It's completely normal to experience an emotional release when trying something new and confronting what we may be afraid we can't do. You should be incredibly proud of yourself for taking this on, and I hope your self-confidence continues to grow. If it's helpful, you might enjoy watching my "what is fibromyalgia?" video where I talk about my own story and what we can do to live better with this condition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fKZnt8ZZyUq5o All the best to you 🌞

I used this to warm down after my first time in a gym since my diagnosis 8 years ago and marking two and a half months off of opioid pain medication. Everything is sore, but I’m happy!

[@beansproot45]

This was my first time trying to exercise since my pain flared up months ago and haven't been able to leave the bed much and your kind words made me cry. Thank you for this.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for the lovely message, Ray. I'm so glad this touched you, and well done to you for trying it! If you are interested, I have a video where I talk more about life with fibromyalgia (kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fKZnt8ZZyUq5o) that might be nice to watch sometime. I truly hope you continue to find relief. 🌟🍀

[@famousamoose9898]

I’m 16 and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few days ago...since then I’ve had a really bad flare up and was in so much pain while doing school but these stretches really helped a lot. Thank you so much for your positivity!

Thank you for sharing your story, and I'm so glad you found the practice helpful. Well done!! 🌟

[@DeeDeeMarie1]

I'm 54 & have had FM for many years. I was diagnosed in my 20s. Today was a really tough day & my body was so stiff & sore. I have the most stiffness in my legs & find it so hard to walk in my job some days. 😞 I find the pain & stiffness is getting worse as I age & enter into menopause.

[@travelWith_viraaj]

@@DeeDeeMarie1 take care dear, remember you are one of the strangest ladies who lived bravely with FM from your 20's till 50's, it is actually an achievement 👏 I too diagnosed with FM when I was 26, it been almost 2 years now.

I’ve been in pain for so long and it always makes me sad that I know yoga releases the pain but the pain is just so intense I just lay in bed. Thank you for this I feel so much better in just a minute it’s crazy 😯

I'm so glad to hear you feel better, well done to you for taking care of yourself. ✨

[@melmatthews5876]

Beautiful and gentle workout for someone like me who suffers from fibromyalgia, chronic anxiety, panic attacks and lifelong insomnia! Thank you for uploading this workout as very often we fibromyalgics feel we can't exercise because of the excruciating pain and exhaustion often suffered after trying to exercise. This was so beautiful because in some of the positions you were actually hugging yourself and being very self compassionate. Even your voice was very soothing and relaxing. I will be using this and some of your other uploads as now I don't feel like an outsider with a condition many people don't acknowledge or even recognise as a genuinely debilitating disease. It's awful when you feel terrible pain but have to say your fine when people ask because they think "it's all in your mind." Now, I will do these exercises and I will only let a very few trusted friends and family know that I'm trying to improve my FM through gentle care of myself using your uploads. Thanks again.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you so much for joining me Mel, and for sharing your story. Well done finding what your body needed today ✨

[@heartbreakerink8696]

Wow, thank you so much for this. I have fibromyalgia which caused me to quit my dance career. I've always been so hesitant to try yoga as it's 'not as impressive' as dance and I didn’t want to accept that I have limitations now. Doing this has really helped me realise that even though I can’t push myself as much as I used to, I can still do small things to be less controlled by my pain.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you so much for sharing some of your story, and I love your attitude! I agree, that is exactly the way we should be thinking - we are still in charge of our own lives. I am actually working on a 7-day series of yoga videos for fibromyalgia right now, so I hope that these can continue providing you with hope and confidence! Well done to you 🌟

[@brooklyn113]

Came for pain relief and the praise and comfort of your narration made me weep. Thank you so much.

[@TisNessie]

It’s so nice to have someone doing this kind of yoga who also has fibromyalgia! And your words of encouragement were so nice in between poses ❤️ I used to do yoga often before I was diagnosed so it’s nice to get back to it in poses I can ease my way back into! Thank you!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wonderful to hear, a big well done to you!! I have several other practices for fibromyalgia and chronic pain, so hopefully we'll meet again on the mat soon! Have a beautiful start to your year ✨✨✨

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about five years ago and I'm actually home sick from work today because of a flare up.☹ My rheumatologist suggested I do yoga and I found your channel. I did this video for the first time and it really helped to loosen up my muscles. Thank you so much!

I’m a social worker who just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia a couple months ago. I thought I was doing great accepting and managing this new condition with all my tools of the trade 😂 but I overexercised last week and have been in pain every day since! It’s easy to get discouraged. Your sincere words of encouragement and reframing made me cry because I felt seen and understood by someone who has had this WAY longer than I. Others have said it here in the comments but thank you for helping us feel less alone! Appreciate this and your other chronic pain videos. :)

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for sharing your story and your kind words! They mean so much to me. Sending lots of positivity your way! 🙏

[@BugVoodoo]

I was recently tasked by my doctor to begin with 10 minutes of yoga twice a week for my fibro. Your video has been the most accessable for me as an absolute beginner with a very small space to work in and limited flexibility. Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so very happy to hear that! Good for you for taking care of yourself, and I hope this continues to help!

You're so welcome Abi! I'm so glad it helped. If you're looking for something even slower, I also have a second video for Fibromyalgia (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKKTg62iqK1netk), as well as a short "what is Fibromyalgia?" video that might be helpful (kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fKZnt8ZZyUq5o).

I used to be a professional dancer who was extremely flexible and nowadays I struggle to straighten my legs all the way and walk to and from my college classes. This video is sad for me in a way to see where I was versus where I am now but your words were very encouraging and meant a lot to me. So thank you for what you do!!!

Thank you for this, I truly don't know what to do with this diagnosis, and I'm living a very intense and hard year, that doesn't allow me to rest much. It's been awful, I've been in tears because of the pain more times than I can count, most days of the week really, and I'm barely managing to get even a little sleep. This helped, I'll do it again tomorrow, maybe even tonight. It's good not to feel alone

This was my first time trying gentle yoga with my Fibro & it did make me cry there’s obviously a lot of emotions behind the illness too. I have not stretched or done much physical exercise in the last 2 months so I was a bit stiff & felt that. But now after finishing I feel a bit better, thank you 🥰

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wonderfully done Jasmine, I'm happy that this helped find a little relief as I know it's not easy with fibro. I have other similar practices in my yoga for chronic pain playlist (tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba), so you might like to cycle through them and see if your body responds especially well to one or several of them. Stay strong, I believe in you!

[@herothebard]

First of all that did not feel like 10 minutes it felt like maybe one minute, so that was good, second of all I’m so great full for that excercise because it cracked like all of my sore mucles and popped everything into a place that felt way better. Next time I will have to do it in the morning however because I don’t know how relaxing that was.

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad you got something out of it, well done :)

[@bethanywentling3550]

Wow….I recently was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction. I sit on the toilet for most of my days crying. While doing this I all of a sudden felt something move and spasm and release and so much relief where I somehow think it stopped my bladder from spasms. I also felt a huge emotional release too where I started crying…I can’t even remember what you said but there was a gentle reminder that definitely made my inner child recognize we need to be patient and give ourselves grace while we figure out this new diagnosis and flare ups Thank you.

Well done listening to yourself, although I wouldn't necessarily keep going if you feel it's making the pain worse as that's not our intent here. Instead, back up the stretch to somewhere that feels more beneficial and comfortable, or feel free to take a different stretch entirely.

Thank you so much for this. This and today is my very first yoga video/exercises. I realize you likely won't see this comment given it has been over a year but maybe.... What can I do when my skin hurts so much that getting on my knees/shins for like the child's pose is misery? Same for almost all the poses. I did the best I could but man did it hurt my skin! Thank you so much!

[@YogawithJoelle]

You're very welcome Estee, and I'm so glad to have you with us! Great job on your first yoga class. And good question about getting on the knees - if that's not comfortable for you, I'd suggest trying a variation on your back instead. You can take basically a supine child's pose with the knees hugging in towards the chest, or you can also keep the feet flat to the floor if that's more comfortable. You should never feel like any pose is making things worse, so don't be afraid to modify to something that feels better for your body! And in case you ever DO want to find more comfort with sitting back towards your heels, I do have another practice you're welcome to try anytime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJy6hWxjmbWUl68 Hope to practice together again soon! ✨

Your calming voice made it that much easier to follow along with this video. My body for the first time in a long time feels completely relaxed

[@YogawithJoelle]

That is amazing, thank you for sharing!

[@vnana2991]

[@YogawithJoelle]

Glad it was helpful! I have some other chronic pain practices in this playlist if you'd like: tinyurl.com/yea9me8n

[@totallybigj]

I have FMS and i've been doing this routine once a day for months. At first I was so inflexible, but now I can do each move with ease! Its amazing to see those changes and feel like I have some control over my body. Thank you Joelle

[@YogawithJoelle]

This is amazing, I hope you're proud of yourself!! This really shows the power of what just 10 minutes can do when done consistently :) If you'd ever like to mix it up a bit, you might like to have a look at my playlist for other chronic pain practices (this one: tinyurl.com/yea9me8n ), otherwise I hope to see you again soon on the mat! Well done!

[@silverlinings3946]

Thank you, Joelle. Your video popped up in search for yoga pain relief. Your gentle voice helped a lot. Namaste x

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you so much for practicing with me ✨

You are very welcome here ✨✨

[@kimbise6705]

Thank you for the wonderful video. I Would love you to do a few safe /not for beginners yoga routines for low bow density.

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad you liked it! You might like to try this one for osteoporosis to see how it feels: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX6cgX2AeKubf7c

[@hazybaby7121]

I would love to see more fibromyalgia videos! All of your videos so far have helped me with the chronic pain I deal with so much. Thank you for these fibro practices they have been amazing for me!

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad you're enjoying them, thanks for the comment! I do have a complete series for fibromyalgia here, in case you haven't seen it before: tinyurl.com/yx7x2usu Have a beautiful Sunday! ✨

[@1021ladyvamp]

I just found this video. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 8 years ago. I have tried meds, physical therapy and just about everything for relief. I gave up. 3.5 years ago when I got pregnant again and just push through it. My daughter will be 3 in June and she has been doing kids yoga. Thanks for this

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for sharing your story! Keep up the great work and I hope you continue to enjoy yoga! 🙏

[@mollybarnes7738]

This helped ease my hips so much, thank you! Is there anyway you could do/have done a video to ease lower back pain? At the moment it's very sore even just to lie on it so I struggle with most exercises to help it. I love your videos 💖

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hi Molly, I've got a few already! 😊 Check my playlist of back pain videos, and I hope they can help: tinyurl.com/10kzajdg

[@berry_x0x0]

I'm not even sure if I have chronic pain, but my usual routine of using a stationary bike isn't ideal, as it often makes my muscular pain worse. I've been trying to adapt everything to how my body works, and then it occurred to me to search for exercises that could help with chronic pain. Just saved this to watch later, and I may try it when I can get myself a yoga mat! I watched a little bit of the beginning, and I can tell you know what you're doing.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Great to hear, thank you for sharing! So glad to have you here ✨

[@jeanhiggs9186]

Thank you Jolene. X

[@walaakhayrallah2788]

Recently diagnosed with fibromyagia... I'm in constant pain..I will be trying these exercises ASAP

[@YogawithJoelle]

I hope they can help you ✨✨✨

[@Loveyou2223]

Thank you for your kind, encouraging words and reminding us all that we are never alone in what we're going through!

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad that resonates for you Lainey! It's a great reminder for so many of us 🌞

[@stephanierosemond3324]

Thank you Joelle! Your videos are extremely helpful, physically and mentally.

[@jeepersandrandy]

Thanks, Joelle from someone who suffers from fibromyalgia and chronic pain this felt amazing!

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad to hear it!! 😊

[@finja1338]

I loved the movements and the encouragements a lot!

[@moonchild8991]

i've had fibromyalgia about two years and a half, especially when i'm am studying hard. and i've learned how to deal with it by streching and yoga by your channel. thank you.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Oh this is so nice to hear, thank you for sharing!

[@ootenba5910]

Thank you Joelle! I have complex ptsd and fibro/hypermobility symptoms since I was 10. Love this practise, its gentle, encouraging and non pushy at all 🧡 I am going to try to incorporate this on hopefully a daily basis and see if it works with the pain!

[@YogawithJoelle]

That sounds wonderful, great attitude! 🌟 I also have a whole playlist for chronic pain practices, in case you'd like to mix in some others as well: tinyurl.com/3sjpwyba

[@nohafarrag6999]

When I wake up stiff this exercise helps so much to get my day started🙏🏻thank you Joelle, merci 🤍

[@YogawithJoelle]

That's lovely to hear Noha, have a beautiful day et merci aussi ! ✨

[@TheUnforgiven004]

Thank you for this video… I’ve felt so hopeless lately in pain relief. I hate asking or seeking help. This week has been so bad and nothing has helped. I decided to stop being stubborn and found your video. It has helped me so much. Your calming voice also helped a lot. Thank you for this video. I just subscribed and looking forward to watching more videos from you :)

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so happy that it helped, and thank you for sharing some of your story. You are definitely not alone! You might also enjoy this quick 5-minute chair yoga for fibromyalgia practice that I just released this week: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH7akHeqh9mGgMU 🌞

[@lizgreene52]

Thank you for this video. I love that fact that it is so focused and so short. I can easily fit it into my schedule. I have found that quercetin, taken when I flare, reduces my fibro pain by about 80%. It's otc and has saved my life

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for the comment Liz, I'm so glad you liked it!

[@tajbell4086]

Thank you so much the past few days have been extremely challenging this video really helped immensely. Ever grateful 🙏🎠🧚‍♂️🐾🥰

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad to hear this helped you. Well done ✨✨✨

[@sarahtownsend1098]

Hello, Joelle! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos. I was wondering if you could please make a video/videos going over different poses and what they’re called for people new to yoga?

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hello Skylar! If you haven't watched it already, you might enjoy my "5 poses to practice every day video" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnPEqmBoo8lnn9E). In it, I discuss the 5 broad categories of yoga poses, with some of the most 'famous' examples in each category. There's even a little 5-minute practice at the end with one pose from each category. I hope that helps, questions are always welcome!! 🌟🌞

[@theresaw1117]

Loved this practice exercise has saved me for sure! I was diagnosed with Fb in 2009, by working out consistently I hardly ever have a flair up! Your instruction is so perfect. We all need to accept our bodies as they are and be grateful for all of our life's journeys! Thank you! Namaste🙏

[@YogawithJoelle]

Beautifully said Theresa, well done! ✨

[@alexzajickova605]

thank you the words you said made me cry even , most doctor dont validate our pain so thank you

[@YogawithJoelle]

Sending you lots of light, well done listening to yourself ✨✨✨

[@socitycourty]

Have you considered any videos on yoga for anxiety/sadness/depression?

[@bambie381]

Thank you for this great practice & encouraging words . Looking forward to doing the TMJ & waterfall videos! Thanks for all you do 🩷

[@YogawithJoelle]

You are very welcome! I am so happy to have you here! 😊

[@amanininii5970]

I felt so relieved at the end of the video, thank you!

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so happy to hear that. Well done ✨

[@MaisyDaisyTyler]

This routine has been so good to do. I would love it if it were slightly longer like 15 or 20mins. I wondered if you could use your expertise to put together a routine for long covid sufferers as the senior one isn't quite what I need nor this one although this one is closer, perhaps focusing on problem areas such as leg mobility, shoulder and chest tightness, neck mobility (I've been doing your video on this) and head and also a chakra one for chronic sufferers/seniors/long covid as I couldn't do the one you had. I know you've encouraged suggestions so thought I would ask! Hope you don't mind. I am Enjoying your videos as I try to find the right ones for me. Thankyou for doing them. NAMASTE X

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you very much - suggestions are ALWAYS welcome! You might also like to try the lupus practice and see if it speaks to you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKvSXnWghq-Kr80

[@YasN82]

Thank you, this was so gentle, just what I needed. Your words of encouragement made me smile ❤️

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for joining me 😊

[@carolschedler3832]

Thank you for getting right into it! I can’t get my leg to cross over as you do at minute 3 and minute 5 in the video, but did my best. Anxious to see how long it takes to gain back that flexibility. I will only be 70 in November, but have been super stiff and trying to remaster flexibility in my body. Am gobbling your videos and just taking the poses where I can comfortably do them. Thank you! 🙏. Hint: Have progressed to being able to get down to the floor and back up, but can’t yet sit on floor with legs crossed.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Woohoo! I love this message so much, thanks for sharing your experience Carol - and most especially, I love your positive attitude! Let me know if you are ever looking for something specific and I'll do my best to help 😉

[@kathymcgirt8944]

Thanks for the no nonsense approach. Will be trying this tonight. Also would be good to know the best way to make this work when you are obese; my stomach gets in the way in so many ways it’s ridiculous.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hi Kathy, I hope you'll feel better after trying this! It's great to check in on ways to modify in ways that are appropriate for each of our individual bodies. For example, if bringing one knee towards the chest directly over the stomach doesn't work, try bringing it out to the side and bit more and just see how that feels. For any exercise, I'd encourage you to just ask yourself, "does this feel good?" and if the answer is "not really," there's probably a better option to find what DOES feel good. Let me know if there are any specific moves that you're wondering how to modify!

[@artexplorations9795]

Thank you for this hugely beneficial tutorial.

[@YogawithJoelle]

You're very welcome!

[@lindafogarty3924]

Hi Joelle! Say, do you have a playlist for strengthening exercises (for fibro which I find all of your videos are perfect for the areas I struggle with the most)? I did the lazy glutes one which I am going to be doing a few times a week like you suggested. I also need other ones too, and how awesome it would be to have a playlist of strengthening (with some stretching but mainly strengthening) exercises. I really need to get a program that I need to strengthen all of those fibro affected areas. Mainly, buttocks, hips, thighs, and glutes. I have to take a cushion everywhere I go and sitting is painful unless it’s a chair (like my recliner) where I can move around a lot. It’s just gotten worse as I’ve gotten older 😫. Thanks to you so much!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hi Linda!! Glad you've already tracked down the lazy glutes video, and great that you're doing it regularly! 😉 Try looking up 'Yoga with joelle hip mobility' on KZbin as there's a good one or two classes that should come up (mobility is basically working strength and flexibility at the same time) Also, this could be a good one for the hips and IT band : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4m2cqCmjciHe5I I hope that helps! 😉

[@Kgil263]

I have following this channel for 10 minute and 20 mint yoga session for fibromyaglia as i have flare up almost every day. I have been doing it every day for almost a month and it helped me alot. Thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@YogawithJoelle]

That's so wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing and well done ✨✨✨

[@vdsdesignurlife3926]

Joelle, thank you so much for these stretches, they have been helpful.

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad you like them! Well done! 😃

[@charlottecamp5197]

This was just what i needed, thankyou! I have been wanting to try yoga for a while, to help with the stiffness and aches i have. my fibro doesn't really get in the way of me living my life, I'm still very physically able but i still struggle most days with the stiffness, aches and fatigue. After waking up this morning, feeling worse than usual, i decided i need to just go for it, i found your video and the stiffness has eased so much and i just feel good and positive!!! This video is perfect for beginners and very effective. I can't wait to try out some of your other videos, thankyou 😊

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad, well done Charlotte! I know exactly what you mean when you describe how fibro affects your life - great attitude towards it all! I will actually have a new video on fibromyalgia coming out tomorrow, so good timing! It's day 1 in a 7 day series, so perhaps that's something you'd like to try 🙂 Have a great rest of your day!

[@sawsansosi1707]
